JUDAS PRIEST - Vintage Vinyl Signing Session Marred By "Get 'Em In, Get 'Em Out" Approach

As previously reported, on Friday, May 9th JUDAS PRIEST legends Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton and KK Downing did their first in-store signing in 25 years at Vintage Vinyl in Fords, New Jersey. According to posts on Halford's official fan forum and accounts on the Metal Sludge gossip board it wasn't the celebration fans had hoped for.
The following account is courtesy of Hellrider67 on Halford's forum:
"Two hour drive and an hour standing in the pouring rain outside. It was cool. The guys signed for about and hour and 15 minutes.The only negative aspects of it were the very rushed pace and the presence of their manager (Jayne Andrews) hovering over them like a hawk and eyeballing everyone who walked up to the table. They should have kept her in the limo. Even people were commenting after they went through the line that they didn't like her attitude. She was basically moving you along and if you didn't move fast enough for her she'd let you know it.
The guys were cool though. They were signing anything people had."
